Default Wheel bearings - 03 Spec-C

do they differ from STI and Spec-c's?

Also where is a decent palce to get them from?

After doing a bit of reading sounds like they can go quiet often and wouldnt mind having a spare in the garage!!

Or even better a set of spec-c hubs and struts!

cheers

my nearside rear went on my STI and Valley Commando had a new one on the front of his spec c. Not sure if you need to stock up in case though

fair enough, i will see how i go!

As for having a spare, it was for the sole reason of going abroad to the 'Ring etc, as no one keeps them in stock it seems, so if i had spare i wouldnt need to lose a day waiting for one.

Cheers for the info tho guys!

Changing your brake setup to a floating setup may probably help (less heat transference to the bearing) or just ensure they are well packed with grease
